Those that are new here and don't know your methods might be fooled, but not the rest of us!

Of course not - you're far too adept at misrepresenting the facts and then buying into your own myths to be swayed by anything I could possibly say.

Are you referring to the "Christmas warning" where the Bush administration stated that Kosovo was part of Serbia?

Um, no. I was referring to the actual "Christmas warning", the entirety of which reads as follows:

In the event of conflict in Kosovo caused by Serbian action, the U.S. will be prepared to employ military force against Serbians in Kosovo and in Serbia proper.
Dec 24, 1992. "Christmas Warning" from GHW Bush to Slobodan Milosevic.

What did you imagine it said?

The point is that you tend to leave out the "inconvenient truth" when it doesn't fit your agenda!

...the international community did not accept Kosovo's claim to independence. The late Bush administration started on December 25, 1992, with President Bush's famous Christmas warning, telling Milosevic that he should not abuse the human rights of the Albanians of Kosovo, but that Kosovo was part of Serbia. This was a very complicated equation. But it was the position of the Clinton administration, and the Europeans inherited and held to it.
